November Chapbook Challenge Day 2: It's Not Easy Being Quarantined

 Today's prompt from Robert Lee Brewer: "Write an 'unexpected' poem." I played a bit loose with this one - it's about the pandemic, whose impact on us was somewhat unexpected, you might say. And the characters affected by it in this poem may be a bit unexpected as well.

Hard Times in the Arts 

when
COVID closed
the Muppet Show
 
their
theater shuttered -
where'd they go?
 
Piggy
returned to
her chic château
 
but
what about
her handsome beau?
 
alas, poor Kermit

became a hermit

(For this poem I actually used the rhyme scheme xxA xxA xxA xxA CC.)
